Description

The Stellar Jockeys are a 4-man team who've worked together full time since the end of 2012: brothers Hugh and Jack Monahan handle art and design while Harry Hsiao and Dale Kim handle programming. Our first commercial title as a team is Brigador, an isometric vehicular action game and built with our own custom engine. As a studio our aim is producing high quality, mechanically interesting games; Brigador hopefully being the first of many to that end.

History

Brigador (originally Matador) and our studio Stellar Jockeys were officially announced February 1st, 2014, and first publicly demoed at PAX Prime 2015. Brigador releases on Early Access Oct. 16th 2015, with a final release date to be set sometime in 2016. Prior to joining Stellar Jockeys, Jack Monahan was the lead level designer on Darkest of Days in addition to writing the well regarded Design Reboot blog.
